Chvrches

Feb 15, 2018

“Get Out” is the first new music from the Scottish band, Chvrches since 2015 out now via Glassnote. The track was produced by Greg Kurstin, recently named Grammys Producer of the Year for the second year in a row. The video for the song features a brief cameo from The National’s Matt Berninger, teasing something called “Friend or Foe,” along with the phone number, 1-800-674-3364. Upon calling the number, you hear what sounds like Lauren Mayberry reading a poem. The National also shared the excerpt on their Instagram. Chvrches will be releasing their third full length album called “Love Is Dead” later this year.

“Working with Greg was so different to what we’d done before, but it also felt so comfortable and like he’d been in our band forever,” the band said in a statement. “He doesn’t try to make you write a certain kind of song. He just listens and then Jedi puppet masters the best work out of you. The opening synth riff of ‘Get Out’ was the first thing to emerge on our first day in the studio with him.”

Chvrches was formed in Glasgow in 2011. The band consists of Lauren Mayberry (lead vocals, drums, additional synthesisers, samplers), Iain Cook (synthesisers, guitar, bass, vocals) and Martin Doherty (synthesisers, samplers, vocals). Two years after their formation, Chvrches released their “Recover” EP in 2013, which included hits "The Mother We Share" and "Recover". Their debut studio album, “The Bones of What You Believe,” was released later that year. In 2015, the group released their second album, “Every Open Eye.”

Look for Chvrches on the road this summer at Governors Ball and Hinterland Music Festival.
